Heirloom Knits by Judith Mcleod-Odell
Very early knitting designs were based around knitting small squares or panels, which were joined to make a whole. The final piece was trimmed with flounces, frills or edgings of lace. Since the panels could be mixed or put together in different ways, or the edging could be varied at will, the resulting piece was unique to each knitter. This book features designs inspired from every decade since 1820, and includes an Embellishments section devoted to a wide range of edging designs so the knitter can create her own special and unique heirloom to pass on from generation to generation. All the patterns in the book have been throughly updated, so they can be knitted in contemporary yarns and using modern techniques. This is an exquisite collection of stunning vintage-inspired designs that's sure to be treasured.
Judith McLeod-Odell was taught to knit by her grandmother, and by the time she was eight she could knit a sock on four needles and turn a heel. She has collected knitting books and patterns for many years, and while working as a nurse she began to experiment with updating historic patterns and developing her own designs. Judith lives in Hertfordshire. This is her first book.
